Star Wars: The Clone Wars ends after five seasons

Star Wars: The Clone Wars ends after five seasons

From USA Today, ((Lucasfilm said it's no longer producing new episodes of Clone Wars for Cartoon Network, and the show recently ended its fifth season with youngster Ahsoka Tano walking away from the Jedi order ))

This is real shame because I really liked this show...more so than the prequels in the Star Wars universe. The show really fleshed out the character more than Lucas could even imagine or care to. The show seemed to be character and plot based, which I think is the focus the prequels needed to go.  The people behind the show really showed what the universe was capable of given that Lucas wasn't involved. There was a maturity level with the show you didn't see with other shows on the Cartoon Network.  People actually died and not in a so nice way too.  

I am also sure having a show on Cartoon Network doesn't help Disney with the profits because they would have to share with CN. This is probably a bit of re-branding going on with the new SW movies coming out. For a while, Lucas shoved the original trilogy merchandising in the background and forced the prequel stuff to foreground. I am guessing we're going to see more of the original trilogy and the new stuff to be placed in the front. I get the feeling Disney wants to push the prequels to the background, given the bad taste it left in people's mouths. It should also be noted that they've postponed the other 3D versions of the prequels too. They are clearly shifting away from that era.

Sadly, The Clone Wars is one of those causalities.

I wasn't an every week fan, but I loved what I saw on the show. With Young Justice and this being canceled there isn't much in the way of cartoon shows to watch these days.
